The suggeition that a tax be placed on foreign immigration is raising a howl in some quarters where 1t ought to be least expected. The organs of the capitalist manufacturers who have amassed their wealth by the operation of high tariff taxes on the products of labor are the most bitter in denouncing the proposal as un-American and preposterous. They decline to admit the injustice of raising the prices of everything that a working- man buys by shutting out foreign goods and lowering the price of American labor by opening wide the doors to the free competition of foreign workingmen. They pretend not to see that wages are high or low in proportion to what they will buy and that where competition is prevented in marketing goods while com- petition is stimulated in labor itself only one side reaps the chief benefit of the re- strioting tax, If our present system of exorbitant tar- ifftaxation is to be indefinitely continued the workingmen of America will surely be found insisting that the prot theory shall be carried to its log Tho tariff is now a tax for the benefit of capital. There must be a correspond- ing tax for the beneftt of Iabor. Capital is now protected from the competition of foreign manufacturerers, Labor will soon be demanding protection from the competition of foreign laborers. There is no know-nothingism in such a position. It will be forced upon the conntry by the greed of the great indus- trial monopolists who are able to screw wages down to the lowest possible notch by the pressure of competition in a labor market already overcrowded and re- ceiving new acquisitions from every emigrant ship. But there is a better solution of the problem. That 15 a radical reform of tariff taxation. The country is still suf- fering from over-production because our exorbitant customs duties have closed to us the markets of the world and restrict- ed our manufacturers to the home mar- kets. In addition they e enhanced the cost of living and decreased the pur- chasing power of the workingmen'’s dol lars. A reduction of the tariff which would take off the duties from the ncces- saries of life and make raw materials free, would relieve labor and open new markets for the products of labor. It might reduce somewhat the profits of the industrial monopolists, but it would greatly enlarge the commercial field in which they could dispose of their wares ‘With the cost of living lessened, and in- creased employment given to working- men, there would soon cease to be any more suggestions about restricting immi- gration. But as long'as competition in selling goods is stifled for the benefit of the industrial monopolist, the question of offsetting the evil by stifing competition in the labor market is bound to come to the surface. As we have said before, it is simply carrying out the high protective theory toits logical en ixtravagant Scientists. The investigation 1nto the extrava- gance of the geological survey has brought out the information that at the presentrate of progress $17,000,000 will bo required to complete the work of map- ping out the country according to the present programme. Congress naturally feels that this enormous amount of money could be put to better advantage, and it is quite right. 1f the true inwardness of the survey business were brought to light it would make a very interesting chapter. Hayden worked the mine for all that it was worth, while his parties of incompetent boys and needy relatives ‘“‘explored” and re- explored the territories of the west. A more shameful fraud than some of the reports printed under the sanction of the government under Hayden’s manage- ment was never perpetrated. Hundreds of thousands ot dollars were invested in printing private researches carried out by eollege professors and warring sciéntists for their own privata benefit. Professor Cape, of Philadelphia, succeeded in getting his descriptions of fossils richly illustrated and published by the government in the highest style ot art, free of all cost, and now Professor Marsh, of Yale, 1s engaged in the same business at national expense. ‘Volumes of the reportof the geological survey are filled with valueless essays on industries which have only the nost re- mote connection with the work of the survey, Other volumes simply duplicate or correct the poor work in preceding volumes. Extravagance, verbosity and repetition, with an immense accumula- tion of useless faots with little or no beaving on the objects for which the sur- voy was created, have been the erying defects of its administration. Itis not to be demed that some good work has . been done, but it has been entirely disproportioned to the cast. The larger part of the money spent has been wasted, 1t is an operse- oret that several years ago,” Professor Hayden was paid hepvily by Clarence King to permit hix%" to reap the full bene- fits of the Zovernment’s generosity. Tho bill to consolidate the surveys and limit their scope which is now beforg congress, is a good one, and should pass. [ Qounty Grading. If there is anything like an equalization of the assessment this year, both the city and county will be put in a financial con- dition to carry outmany necded improve- ments, This will be especially the case with the county in rvegard to grading. The rapid extension of Omaha beyond the present city limits and along the va- rious leading thoroughfares west and south will make heavy demands upon the grading funds, As Omaha and its sub- urbs pay more than nine-tenths of the en- tire county tax, it is right and proper that the expenditurcs for her benefit stould be proportionately large. The county commissioners are recognizing this fact to some extent by making the city more accessible than it has been to the adju- cent country around it. But the direc- tion which building operations—and con- sequently local travel--have been taking for a year pust over the hills and into the county renders it all the more important that the commissioners should at once make their preparatious to extend and straighten the roads which follow the lines of Omaha's prineipal streets into the country aud to estublish fixed grades so0 that purchasers ot county property ean build . without fear of future disturbance. The commissioners haye doue good work in grading street extensions into the ecounty, but they should now .strain every effort to increase the amount al- THE OMAHA D ready accomplished. Farming lands around Omaha are now becoming ex- ceedingly valuable on account of their nearness to our markets. The people in the county no less than the citizens of Omaha have a right to demand eacy ac- cess into the city and through the suburbs. Every street graded outside the city or in the various additions ad- jacent to the principal county roads means a stimulus to building and an in- crease in the county tax list. The work done on Farnam, Cuming, Thirteenth and Leavenworth streets by the county commissioners has been a handsome in- vestment of county funds. It has ma- terially increased trade facilities for our farmers and improved the adjoining property. If it has not raised the tax lists no one but the asse: blame. tant Secretary of the Interior has resigned to take a position as advisor to a young millionaire at a salary of $10,000 a year. Mr. Jenks' retirement is a loss to the public service. It affords another instance of the wisdom of a policy of high salaries for valuable pub- lic officials. Talent and ability command their price every re. A $10,000 law- yer, except in exceptional instances, will decline to be a $2,500 judge. A business man who can carn his $5,000 a year in trade will not be strongly atracted to a responsible public position which will bring in only half that amount. England learned this lesson 18ng ago. Her officinls are handsomely recom- pensed for their labors. There is a strong pecuniary inducement for honorable ri- valry for responsible offices. Men ure not expected to make heavy sacrifices to serve the public. On the contrary the government places & premium on men of brains and successful administrators. It bids for the best and it gets them, be- cause it is the highest bidd, In the older settled states of this coun- try the same policy has been adopted with the judiciary. Judges ave given long terms of oftice and salaries sufficient to atiract successful and brainy men to the bench. Some of these days Nebras- ka will learn the lesson that in public of- ficials as well as in everything else the best is in the long run the cheapest, even if it does not happen to be the lowest priced. Good salaries pay. LN another column will be found an article from the BEr regarding the inefticiency and general incompetency of Marshal Cummings and his force—to all of which the Herald gives cheerful endorsement.—Herald. The BEE has not referred directly or indirectly to Marshal Cummings as the Herald very well knows. The marshal is no more responsible for the selection and pay of the force than the editor of the Herald. The trouble lies with the system under which councilmen appoint their favorites to places on the force and pay political debts at the expense of the public. Incidentally since the Herald has raised the question, we will take occasion to re- mark that under Marshal Cummings’ ad- ministration the police force is better disciplined and managed than it has been for years before, while the fines collected foot up nearly double what they did under his predecessors. The marshal is all right. What we want is a better calibre of roundsmen, more of them, a graded pay roll, and a reform in the system which will take the police force out of politics. TuE council took prompt action in re- gard to labelling the streets at its last meeting by instructing a committee to confer with the gas company and to as- certain the cost of having the names painted inside the street lamps. The matter is a pressing one, and should be pushed until the work is done. Sign boards on the streer corners are also needed, but they should be simple strips with the name of the street in white with a dark background. The offer of a company to furnish the same in combina- tion with their own advertisement showed enterprise, but naturally did not meet with favor. Any one of a dozen patent medicine firms would gladly make the same contract, LIEUTENANT GOVEERNOR GIBBS, of Texas, promises Cleveland 250,000 ma- jority in that state if he takes a wife and runs for the presidency again. It is pretty safe to bet that Mr. Cleveland will be married next month, but itis by no means certain that he will be nominated for the presidency in 1888. There is a wide difference between matrimony and politics. —— Mgz, GLADSTONE has carried bis motion to push the consideration of the home rule bill by devotings four-fifths of tho time of parliament to its consideration until it_1s “finally disposed of.
